Filipino RN with US Tourist visa
0Feb 21, '07 by rookieqhi there,
assuming you take BSN in manila and will be fortunate enough to pass the IELTS, NCLEX etc.
would it be easier to find a job in California? I mean to pass the exam, travel to the US for a vacation at the same time send your resume to various US hospitals and hope for an interview? (not expecting to work right away) I know that they will still have to petition you and go thru the normal immigration process to obtain your permanent residency. Then fly back to manila while waiting?
basically does it help to have a US tourist visa?
Thanks! -
0Feb 21, '07 by RNHawaii34Quote from rookieqnope. you need a proper paperworks in order to find a job in the u.s. they don't hire people with tourist visa. they will ask you a proof that you are allowed to work in the u.s., such as ssn, a green card, or alien card, and your us r.n. license. if you wish to do that anyways, why not apply online? most hospitals would rather point you to their websites, and apply there, you can send your resume online too. if you know how to cut and paste, try that. save your tourist visa for touring...save your money too, on airfare. i know people have done that from the past, yet they get turned down because of not having proper paperworks. goodluck.hi there,

1Feb 22, '07 by suzanne4Agree with above, no reason to travel to the US......and to come to the US with the idea of taking the NCLEX and then looking for a job, it will be 2 1/2 weeks to 3 weeks for you to get results.......long time to stay in the US just waiting.
And with the retrogression right now, you will not find any hospital willing to start the process as they do not know when it will end.
Save your money. And follo what was posted above. You will need that money if you do get a job in the US.traumaRUs likes this. -
0Feb 22, '07 by lawrence01Quote from rookieqYes, they usually conduct telephone interviews nowadays.Thank you for the advice RNHawaii and Suzanne.
So that means it is the norm for employers to sponsor employees even without a face to face interview? -
2Feb 28, '07 by rookie_rnhey there.. this is rookie_rn. i am a Filipino. i just want to share my personal experience. i finished my BSN degree in the Philippines last May 2005. i had a US tourist visa since i was a child because my parents would always take our entire family here for a vacation.
so, after i graduated from college with a BSN degree, i went to the US on a US tourist visa (i did not have a Green Card, Social Security Number, etc.). i applied for the NCLEX-RN. i took it and i passed. then, i looked for an employer (hospitals, nursing homes, etc.) that would sponsor my Green Card. i found one. then, i took the services of a Lawyer (a US immigration specialist as well). all the required documents and paperworks were prepared and taken care of. after 4 months, i received my Employment Authorization Card, Social Security Card, and Green Card (all coming from the USCIS) and i am now working as a Registered Nurse in Santa Clara, CA (i also work at a Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Sunnyvale, CA).
i hope this helps. good luck!brianna08 and little_dindin like this. -
0Feb 28, '07 by suzanne4you did that last year, there is a retrogression in place and not one thing can be submitted to uscis ither than the i-140 and that will not permit anyone to work, nor will it permit them to remain in the us when their visa expires.
this is not a smart thing to do. and is actually illegal. that is why it is even now taking 90 days before any attorney will submit petitions on someone from your country, as many are now getting denied. grounds in a nano-sec0nd for getting denied.
and you did not get your green card in four months. and not all immigration attorneys know the requirements of what is needed to work in the us as an rn. -
0Feb 28, '07 by RNHawaii34and in addition, not every body has the money to spend for tourist visa. and when you get to us, what are you gonna do? bag groceries under the table? will you actually gonna risk deportation for that? your a bsn holder..not everyone can afford to pay immigration lawyer as well, i heard it is really costly, and to apply for a visa screen legally is less expensive than doing it via immigration lawyers. i know some people who did that, eventually they went back home in the philippines to apply for visascreen.i know some will disagree, but it is not worth risking your chance working here.
2Feb 28, '07 by suzanne4it is also extremely difficult now for a nurse to get a tourist visa to the us from pi if they never had one before. and the biggest reason? many that never returned home after coming to the us, whether on a tourist visa, and stayed legally, or that stayed illegally.
there have not been visas available since the retrogression began after october 31, 2006. however, we hear repeatedly about the nurse from there that cam over in october, and then took nclex here in december and they are now working. yes, illegally. and if caught, they will be deported and not permitted to return to the us for ten years. us immigration does not care if they have a car that they bought, or lease that they signed. the issue is that they are working illegally, being paid in cash under the table, do not have a social security number, and many do not even have a nursing license in the us. yet they are working.
not the thing to do.
and it is actually in violation of the us state dept and us immigration law to do that. it does matter what some attorney did to circumvent the rules for you, issue it that the nurse will be the one that suffers. and how do they even show their face when they are forced to return home.
you must be in the us for five months before you can begin work, and that is when visas are available. right now, nothing more than the i-140 can be submitted, so when these nurses call their parents and say "i am working in the us, i have a job." and i want to laugh.
they will be throwing away their career. and if i am not correct on this, take a visit to immigration detention down in san pedro where the cells are over-crowded, and i mean cell. like in jail. but since those that are being deported do not qualify for anything here, no services need to be provided, a bar of soap is all that is given. anything more and it needs to be paid for. and there are many from your country there now waiting to be deported. whether it was from overstaying a visa and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or getting a dui while holding a green card, the us govt does not care.
cgfns is also investigating those that obtained the visa screen certificate fraudulently and they are deporting those that did. no vsc, and then the green card disappears.
sorry to be sounding so tough, but this is how things are truly are here right now. over 800 people picked up in the bay area over the past two weeks for immigration issues, and the numbers are increasign all over, not decreasing.
it is an honor to be able to live and work in the us, not a right that was automatically given to anyone. you need to follow the rules of the us government if you wish to remain in the us. until you are actually a us citizen, you are fair game for being deported for any reason.Aviationurse and richcruz like this.

The Suzuki Vitara is back, debuting a new look and smaller proportions at this year's Paris Motor Show. As the Grand Vitara was axed earlier this year, Suzuki's new five-door crossover is likely to go on sale in early 2015 for a starting price of around £12,500.
• Read our full first drive review of the Suzuki Vitara here
Suzuki's Renault Captur rival looks set to rejuvenate the Japanese brand in the UK, as the crossover market expands rapidly. It was shown as a concept at Frankfurt last year, and this production model carries over plenty of design cues, including a sharp crease along its flanks, wraparound headlights and a Range Rover Evoque-style nose.
Elegant LED headlamps also feature. The new Vitara attempts to be bold and refreshing with a range of 15 bright colour schemes, giving customers plenty of scope for personalisation inside and out.
So buyers can lift the largely dark interior with a splash of body-coloured metal trim across the dashboard and air vents. Some chrome can also be added around the gearlever and door trims, although there isn't much in the way of innovation inside, beyond the stylish analogue clock.
However, a 'rugged' package can be specified on the outside, adding front and rear skidplates and body side mouldings. This shows the Vitara's trump card – it should be capable off-road. Unlike most small crossovers, Suzuki has given it four-wheel drive.
The 'ALLGRIP' system provides four settings, including an automatic mode, which maintains front-wheel drive until it detects slip and reverts to four-wheel drive. But unlike some rival set-ups, Suzuki claims this four-wheel-drive system isn't detrimental to efficiency.
The 118bhp 1.6-litre diesel, which also delivers 320Nm of torque, only emits 4g/km more CO2 with the ALLGRIP system, at 111g/km with the six-speed manual transmission. Suzuki claims 123g/km emissions for the two-wheel-drive manual version of the 118bhp 1.6-litre petrol Vitara, and 127g/km for the automatic. When equipped with ALLGRIP, the petrol Vitaras emit 11g/km more. Fuel economy figures have yet to be released.
Safety equipment includes an 'RBS' system that can mitigate a low-speed crash by applying the brakes. All models have seven airbags, and the Vitara can even be specified with adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof and a smartphone connection.
The new Vitara, which is smaller than the outgoing Grand Vitara at a little over 4 metres long, features a 375-litre boot. That's competitive with the Captur, although the Renault's seats can slide forward to make it even bigger.
What do you think? Do you feel axing the Grand Vitara for this was a good idea? Let us know in the comments below.

Khans of Tarkir Game Day & A StarCity Invitational Qualifier
This weekend is Pro-Tour Khans of Tarkir and for the first time since 2012 a Standard Pro-Tour event will be played without Shocklands, Sphinx's Revelations, or Pack Rats. The rotation shakes more than just the standard metagame but also the way that Magic will work into the future as it will be the last time that a 3 set Block and a Core Set will all rotate out at the same time, thanks to the change in the way that Wizards will be releasing sets in the future. If you want to see what the future of Standard looks like you should see what the pros decide to play, and you can watch all of that HERE.
But once the dust settles and the cards shuffle their last in Honolulu this weekend there will be more Magic to play. Because next weekend (10/18 - 10/19) is Khans of Tarkir Game Day. And all 4 of the Fantasy Shop locations will be hosting Game Day events as they usually do, but this time there is an additional reward beyond the full art foils for everyone who comes in the top 4 of their local Game Day event.
St. Charles: www.facebook.com/events/1468587180068892/
Florissant: www.facebook.com/events/750435371684155/
South County: www.facebook.com/events/808978812479837/
Maplewood: www.facebook.com/events/1535614443321044/
St. Charles will be running it's very first StarCity Invitational Qualifier on Sunday the 19th of October (the winner of which will get $250 in cash!). And if you place in the top 4 of one of the Game Day events then you get to play in the StarCity IQ event ... For free. That means that 16 lucky players who invest $5 in the event entry of the Game Day Event of their local shop and play hard and have luck fall their way will get to play in a $30 event for free!
So you'll have the opportunity to test the field and make last minute adjustments after Game Day to make sure that you have the best chance to put your best foot forward during the SCGIQ.
Another innovation from The Fantasy Shop!

Pretty much every regional train (not the white express trains) that runs from Cologne through Bonn stops at Bruhl. It takes about 15 minutes, and once you walk out of the station there it is: Augustusburg Palace. The main town is behind and to the right of the palace, if you want to do some further exploring. But the Palace and the gardens to the left and behind are the biggest draws in the town.
how to get to bruhl
If you don't have a car, the easiest way of getting to Bruhl is by train. From Bonn or Koln (Cologne) trains are reaching Bruhl every 30 minutes. The trip is around 15 minutes and it leaves you just in front of the palace. Go out of the station and you will see signes for Phatasialand buss.
Enjoy ;)- Trains
It is relatively easy to get to Bruhl from Cologne. The bus timetables are very easy to understand and the railway staff are very helpful if you are in doubt. One suggestion is just to give yourself plenty of time to study the times and you will be fine.

Ask Slashdot: Good Technology Conferences To Attend?
Look on the edges of tech (131 comments)
Sometimes, you find the best stuff outside the heavy lifting tech world. I've been going to South by Southwest Interactive for the past 5 years. It's been a nice counter balance to nuts and bolts tech conferences. I get inspiration and some notion of Good Things to Do. There are plenty of smart people, and that's a major refreshment for me. The focus isn't on tech as much as interesting ways to use it.
There's now an education conference under the SXSW umbrella. That may be worthwhile to you, and easier to get funded.

Essay: The benefits of a new Stop & Shop
Stop & Shop has proposed to replace its current tired and inadequate Water Street store with a beautiful new store that, beyond all measure, will meet the needs of the community, benefit the town of Tisbury, revitalize the center of Vineyard Haven, and in the process encourage future investment in a downtown area that sorely needs reinvestment as the gateway to the Vineyard.
There is no need for word pictures here. Just walk up Water Street for starters. Quaint and inviting are not defined by peeling paint, narrow sidewalks in disrepair, and rundown structures. The before and after of Stop & Shop's proposal is stunning by Vineyard standards.
As a former Tisbury selectman and a citizen of our town for more than 30 years, I know firsthand about failed efforts over the years to revitalize the downtown, and I fear the consequences of allowing further deterioration. We've asked commercial property owners to simply do the bare minimum upkeep, put a coat of paint on a tired building, to
replace loose shingles, very simple measures to enhance the beauty of our town. We enacted a town by-law to provide the local building inspector some enforcement authority and a penalty structure to force business owners to maintain their buildings. Yet, for all of those efforts, today as I write this we have not one full-service restaurant on Main Street that serves dinner, no movie theater, and one rundown grocery store.
Tisbury has a loyal partner in Stop & Shop, one who over the years has contributed generously to our schools, seniors, and community programs. In Stop & Shop, we have an anchor for revival of the downtown — renovating an entire block, keeping in the character of Tisbury's rich history, and attracting visitors back to Vineyard Haven who are now bypassing the town for Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, and beyond. Sadly, Tisbury has become, for many summer visitors and locals alike, just a waiting line for the ferry.
It's time we do something about this. There will be those who remain resistant to change on Martha's Vineyard. For reasons I cannot explain, we will always have a group of people who want to keep the status quo, even when the status quo is rundown, dilapidated buildings. From my perspective, change is a good thing, when done smartly. The proposed renovation of Stop & Shop is smart development.
Some in opposition have unfairly criticized Stop & Shop for the lengthy permitting process. The reality is that this site is perhaps the most unique development site on Martha's Vineyard. We are adjacent to the main port for vehicular and pedestrian traffic to the Island throughout the year. We are adjacent to the worst intersection many of us will ever know, the infamous Five Corners. And we are abutting a town property, the
municipal parking lot that services the entire downtown area. We have been working closely with the Martha's Vineyard Commission, town of Tisbury officials, the business community, and residents of Tisbury to make this a better project. We are thankful for the input and the directions provided from many different and varied sources.
The most recent deliberation that has delayed our bringing our project to a final hearing is the result of ongoing discussions, since October, between Tisbury selectmen and a special town subcommittee over recommendations for improvements to the adjacent municipal parking lot. When Stop & Shop first applied to the MVC we had a vision for the parking lot that was included in the proposal. We were advised to bifurcate the project and focus on only the Stop & Shop property, and to let the town decide what they wanted to do, if anything, with the town lot. That has simply proved impossible. This project does not exist separate and apart from the lot. They are inseparable. Ultimately there are too many issues that interconnect between the lot reconfiguration, or the lack of a reconfiguration, and the proposed renovation, to provide a final product for a decision from the MVC.
Therefore, Stop & Shop has asked for the MVC to delay a final hearing until the town of Tisbury has had a full and complete opportunity to vet the proposed changes to the municipal lot. Once the town has made its determination, whether to change the lot or not to change the lot, Stop & Shop can button up its final proposal and head to a clean, and complete, MVC review.
As for the facts of this project:
• The footprint of the new building is just 6,500 square feet larger than the existing footprint of the buildings currently on site.
• The Water Street footprint of the proposed building is the same length as the present Stop & Shop and the rundown Chinese restaurant that now serves as storage for the store.
• The Norton Lane footprint of the new building is the same length as the current Stop & Shop, now a hodgepodge of three entrances for groceries, personal and hygiene products, and natural foods.
• The rear andwest side of the new building, blocked from view for the most part by surrounding buildings and proposed structures, will be extended the length of the Prouty house and yard.
• Stop & Shop is fully committed at its own expense to relocating the deteriorating Prouty house that, discovered as a part of this application process, is hidden from view, and years from now, if left in it's current state, will collapse in disrepair.
• And yes, the building is higher, as will all renovated buildings be along Water Street, given new state regulations for the flood plain. Taller buildings along Water Street are unavoidable, a minimum of eight feet taller. The proposed Stop & Shop building height at 33 feet, in fact, is lower than the proposed new Island Housing Trust building next door and below the current zoning requirements.
There is a reality here. All buildings in the Water Street location will, at some point in our future, be raised approximately eight feet so that they don't wind up in the harbor.
Project benefits:
• Stop & Shop is smartly utilizing the space beneath the building created to comply with the proposed floodplain elevation to provide 42 parking spaces beneath the structure. The proposed plan relocates the truck deliveries from the Norton Lane side of the store to a completely enclosed receiving area to the rear of the building.
• Stop & Shop has reduced the originally proposed store size by close to 15 percent, thus creating much wider sidewalks and pedestrian friendly gathering spaces along its Water Street frontage.
• All of the proposed development will be on Stop & Shop's property, thus eliminating the current easements that are in place.
• The company has also committed to contributing to traffic studies for Water Street and the downtown, and to working closely with its neighbor, the Island Housing Trust. Results of collaborative studies with traffic consultants have indicated the replacement store will only increase in traffic at Five Corners by about six percent.
• This project creates new jobs: with its proposed new Vineyard Haven store, Stop & Shop will employ 160 in season (30 full-time and 130 part-time) and 100 in off-season (20 full-time and 80 part-time). Part-time workers will have regular opportunities for increased hours. At present, the Vineyard Haven store employs 96 in season and 57 in the off-season.
• And finally, the impressive architecture of this proposed building: architect Chuck Sullivan of Oak Bluffs has designed a supermarket in keeping with Tisbury's vintage architecture, in tone, scope, and aesthetics. This will be one of the most attractive supermarkets in all of New England.
The downside of not moving forward with this project is business as usual in Vineyard Haven, and that is not in the best interest of anyone — the town of Tisbury, its residents, and Stop & Shop.
Geoghan Coogan of the Edmond G. Coogan Law Office in Vineyard Haven represents Stop & Shop and is a former member of the Tisbury board of selectmen.
Thanks for investing in the Vineyard, and offering reasonably priced food products that make it possible for a middle-class family to not have to travel off-island in order to economically survive.
Now, how about making the Edgartown store as nice as the one you have planned for Tisbury?
S+S ruined driving into Edg. We shouldn't let them do the same thing in VH. I am curious what the studies showed on traffic impact in Edg. I want my roads back and I want them safe for emergency vehicles. We have traffic jams there now at 6:40am. This won't help that. Too much stuff pushed into a tiny area and the SSA is way more important.
The fact that you have traffic jams at 6:40am when Stop and Shop is not open should tell you something.
It does. It shows us it's not a sufficient area without a S+S there, let alone with. It also shows we should consider changing five corners. First things first before we start biting off more than can be chewed.
Very good. What is the fix and when? 5 Corners? Union St? State Rd? What would your plan look like even if you take the S&S plan off the table? All of these point directly toward the SSA. I know it's a would have, could have, should have kind of thing but the town, state, SSA and MVC should have had the foresight to see this coming years ago when the VH terminal was overhauled, that's when a significant change could have been made. Stop and Shop is there and not going away, they own the property and are an anchor year round operation that is going to up-grade and improve the area and add some much needed parking. Please Tiskid explain the fix.
Move S+S to a feasible location where the is actually room instead of putting them right in the middle of where they shouldn't be. Anywhere you put the SSA too much stuff will try to follow it. If you moved the SSA to Tashmoo or West Chop magically too much stuff would follow it, say they were anchor business, too important to consider moving, and say the SSA is the problem. The SSA footprint is far better than it was. S+S needs to either move or stay small. Those are the realistic choices. There is no more room for more traffic. None. Go somewhere there is or go away. Tisbury had a chance to fix things. It was called the connector road. They were told repeatedly by Fred L we needed one, but it was voted down by a minority of the town because it was a borrowing issue. Then in that case maybe don't borrow. Just buy. It's just not that much money. Once built there would be quite a bit of space there for S+S right in the heart of the town, and far more accessible. Then S+S downtown could be turned into parking or more bus space or housing for people that could walk. Problems solved. Instead we seem to want horribly dangerous traffic year round. I'm ready to listen to ideas about how 5 corners could be a roundabout. I'm ready to listen to how Union St could be changed. I'm not ready to listen to how we should fit yet more stuff into a tiny and critical area.
One of the flaws in your plan is S&S is there, they own it. When you say move it how does that work? "Hey guys, we're going to need you to sell this prime piece of commercial real estate and move." Maybe at gun point. What is the too much stuff that would follow the SSA? Tashmoo??? West Chop???
I don't even get that. The extender road would be fantastic but I'm not sure it would impact the unloading of The Island Home into 5 corners. While the roundabout on Barnes and EDG/VH is working well again I don't think it would solve the 5 corners problem when The Island Home dumps in VH. It's all about the boats, get ready for the new super freight boat, that will help.
Obviously the SSA wouldn't move to Tashmoo or West Chop. That's why I said "magically". But if they did businesses would spring up around it quickly. How would that happen? They would buy land there, just like how S+S ended up where they are now. They're have to make a business transaction. They'd have to buy one place and sell another. They are in the middle of attempting business transactions now. They had to buy the spot they are in in Edgartown. It could be done. I totally agree with you the boats are a huge issue. 5 corners wasn't ready for that and even if 5 corners changed it might not matter if they just got another larger boat. It's true that the S+S is already there, but so is the SSA
I drive into Edgartown every morning to drop my sons at school and haven't seen this mysterious traffic jam…and that's at 8:30 in the morning.
You've never been in a traffic jam going into Edg? And the jam just happens to let up right after the S+S? Never? Do people do their shopping at 8:30am?
Well, in August I guess…but I don't think that's the Stop & Shop. Wait…do you call three cars a traffic jam?
Well no…but I know what I call revisionism
So, you were speaking about traffic in the area of the Stop & Shop at 6:40 a.m. in the morning during August? Yes, obviously, that's the fault of the Stop & Shop. We should move it off island and all of the traffic will go away. Gotcha.
Nooooo. No. We should put an even bigger and better S+S right at the intersection of Look and Edgartown Rd where we know there is only bad traffic in August and it's not S+S's fault. Great planning.
Actually, it's a pretty good location as it is close enough to town that a lot of people can walk or ride their bikes their…rather than driving.
Enough though, you're right that 6:40 a.m. traffic is a killer…let's close it down. -
Which S+S are we talking about? The one that two people ride/walk to, or the one that three people walk/ride to?
Many, many people walk and or bike to both Stop and Shops. A grocery store is the backbone of a community; removing it will be the final blow. I suggest, to the people who want to move Stop and Shop and the bowling alley out to the airport, why don't you go too. You can have your own little town.
Oh yeah. You can always see all the bikes lined up, and all the people walking with their bags. Tons of em. At Cronigs too.
Not that you feel this way Sara but "to the people who want to move Stop & Shop" YOU CAN'T!!! It's not on the table, not in a million years would they or should they give up the piece of land they OWN. I'm just so tired of hearing that theory that S&S can be moved to suit others' needs.
Then ya gotta stay appropriately sized for a small neighborhood….no malls, no Wall Marts, no Lowe's, no super shopping centers located right in the busiest and most important intersection on the island, which is already clogged up like the Big Dig all summer long, and at other times too.
There is no mall or Wallmart, the foot print will not be that much bigger, it can't be. You are looking for Tisbury circa 1965, good luck finding the time machine. The rest of us will move forward.
I'm pretty sure the 1965ers are the ones that would have you believe tons of people are actually walking/biking to get their groceries, that there are no traffic jams here, except in August, and that we didn't need a connector road. I'll sit here in reality, thank you very much.
What did people do before the S+S in Edgartown? What did they do?
Before stop and shop, a&p was in that location. Since the mid-60s. Before that there were four grocery stores downtown on main St.
Coulda sworn there was Diary Queen right around there. There were also no buses and I highly doubt anyone would want 4 grocery stores in any downtown area now
There is also a delay the other direction, turning left across traffic to Pinehurst Road. I don't know why drivers turn there, should we shutter that shopping plaza and tell residents of the neighborhood they must move?
The solution for Upper Main Street is two small roundabouts: one at the Triangle, the other at the Curtis Lane / Cooke Street intersection. Then ban turning left across traffic. Instead, drivers circle the far roundabout and come back for an easy right turn off Main Street.
This won't cure traffic problems in Edgartown, that is why I didn't make the Edgartown Road intersection the second roundabout. Traffic will continue to backup southeast of Peases Point Way because there is not enough parking beyond.
Where's the Cook St Curtis Lane intersection?
The pointy end of Cannonball Park. Such a roundabout needn't be very big. The effect would be drivers could legally make a U-turn and head back the way they came.
It came late, on Wednesday, and it was just a slightly incoherent dupe of one I published a week or two ago. I may publish it next week or the next.
I've long advocated this type of solution for Edgartown, specifically, a round-a-bout at the Triangle, then one around Cannonball Park, along with no left turns. I do this already, often, during the summer – instead of trying to turn left when exiting S&S or Edg. Nat. Bank I turn right and drive the block up to the Triangle and turn left there and re-enter the traffic pattern heading into town. This would work even better if it were actually designed for this purpose.
Your idea makes sense.
Are you wondering about the cars turning left off VH road to Chase road or turning left off W Tis road on to Pinehurst by Edg Hardware? -
The street roughly opposite the NW entrance/exit of the Edgartown Stop & Shop.
That's a short-cut from VH Road on Chase Rd through to the WT Road. Brings you out on the WT road just before Coops.
what exactly makes them "your roads"?
Good question. I would say the same thing that let 93 Tisbury voters say "Not in my backyard" to the Tisbury connector road when the rest of the town overwhelmingly was in favor of it, and it was recommended by town personnel.

2013 prix fixe?
Is there certain WDW restaurants still offering prix fixe choices on their menu's in 2013? I recall Captain's Grille, Kona Cafe, and a few others offering prix fixe menu options. I am not seeing them with the online menu's unless I am looking at the wrong areas.
as far as I know, the only restaurant that has stopped offering a prix fixe is Le Cellier.
Captain's Grille no longer has the prix fixe at dinner (I don't know about any other meal time).
Le Cellier, Captain's Grill and Kona no longer have a prix fixe offering on their menus.
As far as I know the restaurants that still have some form of prix fixe menu (there are variations) are Les Chefs, San Angel, Marrakesh, Nine Dragons, Monsieur Paul and Flying Fish. Marrakesh and Monsieur Paul have upcharges for their prix fixe and I don't think the FF prix fixe is on the dining plan. |
That's interesting. None of the restaurants that still have prix fixe are Disney operated. Except Flying Fish, and they don't accept the dining plan for theirs.
Chefs de France has a couple options. Mama Melrose Fantasmic Dinner Package is.
Like, my kids love minestroni soup and i thought it was a gr8 opportunity to eat at a nicer NON character dining restaurant but still eat healthy AND save money. So 2 soups 2 entrees between the 4 of us. Way more than enough food especially given i am sure the portion sizes are way more than what a true serving size is (1/2c pasta).

Has Marriage Become An Outdated Institution?
Right? Wrong. With Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's recent engagement announcement after seven years and six kids together, it appears that the order of operations in love and relationships may be changing directions. 6 Reasons Why You're Still Single
Data from 2009 says 53% of births in America were out of wedlock. This is a trend that experts say is increasingly common in middle class America. Helen Fisher, Ph.D., says, "A hundred years ago, if you had a child out of marriage, you would be social disgrace. Today, women feel comfortable enough economically and culturally to bring up a child without a recognized commitment from a man."
Will marriage as an institution in America soon be outdated? Many couples feel that marriage is simply a piece of paper and just don't want to rush into it. Another reason people are waiting to get married is because they don't want to get married and then divorced — they want to take the plunge only once. 6 Signs That He's 'Mr. Boyfriend Material'
As far as first marriages go, 1 in 10 fails within five years. Many of these parents who aren't too interested in marriage are the children of divorce who were born in the early 1980s when divorce rates peaked. In fact, fewer people are marrying than ever; 51% of adults are married today, compared to 72% in 1960.
According to reports, Jolie and Pitt are tying the knot at the request of their kids. It can be easier for kids when their parents are married, so they don't have to explain to their peers why their parents aren't married.
These days, it's certainly more acceptable to have children without being wed, but studies have also shown that unmarried parents are twice as likely to break up by the time their child is 5. How To Survive Your First Year Of Marriage
Is the order of operations in love and relationships truly outdated? Some might say yes, but it's not really. While it's certainly culturally acceptable to have kids without the ring, many people are still following the traditional flow of love, marriage, and then kids.
Some things to consider:
1. If you've been married before, does marriage still hold the same significance for you? Maybe you don't feel you need to get married a second time because it no longer means the same thing. Statistics on remarriage put the divorce rate for second marriages at over 50%. So, while this should not discourage you, perhaps you'll want to make sure this is a step you are definitely ready to take.
2. Things you need to do before you get married/are thinking about getting married for the first time

News and reviews
LSO St Luke's will host the Lovie Awards for the fourth consecutive year on 11 November 2014.
The event is expected to attract 400 people and will take place at the venue's Jerwood Hall. The awards will be hosted by writer and TV presenter Mark Dolan and will be followed by an exclusive after party.
The Lovie Awards, presented by Google and the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, recognise the unique nature of the European Internet community from Europe's top web and creative networks and content publishers, to cultural and political organisations and bedroom bloggers.
"LSO St Luke's has become integral to the success of Lovies and its location close to the Old Street roundabout and burgeoning East London tech scene is perfect for our winners and other guests," says Steve Marchese, Executive Producer of the Lovie Awards.
Winners set to be recognised on the night include Jamie Oliver as Lovie Person of the Year and Vogue as Lovie Best Design.
LSO St Luke's Sales and Marketing Manager, Victoria Steinitz, says: "Having worked with the organising team from the outset we are delighted to be hosting the Lovie Awards ceremony for a fourth year."
LSO St Luke's expands team alongside staff promotions
Historical events venue LSO St Luke's has expanded its team and promoted two long-standing staff members following a successful year.
Nathan Budden joins the team in the role of Stage Manager. Nathan, who has previous experience working at the Sydney Opera House, brings a fresh face to the venue as it approaches the 2014/15 season.
Alongside this new appointment, LSO has also promoted two of its own staff. Lucy Walker has become Senior Events Manager. Lucy has been working with LSO since starting an internship in 2007 within the education team where she proved her ongoing commitment and now leads the events team with relentless enthusiasm and positivity.
Christopher Cashman, who has been at LSO St Luke's for over three years, takes on the role of Events Manager after being recognised for his hard work and experience. He will be leading on a large number of artistic, corporate and private events.
Meanwhile Victoria Moran has been appointed as LSO St Luke's new Administrative Assistant and will be supporting the events team and wider venue operations with office services, financial systems and front-line enquiries.
LSO St Luke's Sales and Marketing Manager, Victoria Steinitz, says: "This is an exciting time for LSO St Luke's and I am delighted we have expanded the team. We're looking forward to getting to know Nathan and Vicky as they settle into their roles, while rewarding Lucy and Chris with well-earned promotion after years of hard work and dedication."
LSO St Luke's sees 50% rise in hospitality and networking tagged onto event bookings
LSO St Luke's today reports a 50 per cent increase in year-on-year meetings and events that have added a hospitality or networking element onto the end of them for the period August 2013 to July 2014. The venue has also noticed an increase in larger events that span two days, usually with hospitality in between.
LSO St Luke's, which has the capacity to host up to 450 people for events in its central Jerwood Hall, believes the increase is a good sign the market is continuing to recover and that clients have more to spend.
Sales and Marketing Manager, Victoria Steinitz, says: "We have noticed more people travelling to attend events at the venue, not just from the UK but also from international destinations. For technology events in particular, delegates attend from across the globe meaning their trips are more worthwhile if the event is delivered over consecutive days, almost always with a social element or networking event at the end of day one.
"Though this is a good sign the market is picking up, clients are still looking to get the maximum value for their money by adding value to their events, perhaps by having two events in one, such as the business element and the social. Tagging on networking to the events proves the need for face-to-face conversations; not all business is done by email and Twitter!"
The venue hosted 354 events in the 2013/14 year, which were a mixture of conferences, Christmas parties, seated dinners, receptions and other events. Among those was a 17 per cent increase in award ceremonies and an 11 per cent increase in clients using the venue for filming.
Enquiries for the venue were also up in its end of financial year results and between January and August this year LSO St Luke's has seen a 45 per cent increase in enquiries compared with the same period in 2013.
Victoria Steinitz adds: "We have recorded strong results in the last year and are starting a new financial year on a positive high following eight months of great enquiries. Only by maximising income from external event hire can we continue to offer world-class music-making facilities in our unique Grade I listed venue."

3 charged in death of aspiring rapper found burned
August 20, 2011 - 2:50 PM
HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — Three people have been charged in the slaying of a fledgling New York City rapper whose burned body was found this week in an SUV parked on a New Jersey street.
Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli says 30-year-old Randy Manning of Brooklyn faces charges including felony murder and witness tampering in the death of Rhian H. Stoute, a 33-year-old Brooklyn resident who performed under the name Kampane.
Manning's girlfriend and a friend of his were both charged with hindering his apprehension. Authorities did not know whether they or Manning had attorneys. All three were due to make their initial court appearances on Monday afternoon.

Do you know what's lacking in trucking? Dignity. Simple dignity. If this sounds all soft and squishy, read on. I think I'll change your mind. A chance meeting outside my hotel lobby one evening during the Mid-America Trucking Show last month provides a clue on how to avert a pending disaster.

The American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) supports disaster response efforts by engaging industry to address the unmet needs of relief organizations, communities, and people. ALAN has provided the following update on transportation systems in the area affected by Hurricane Sandy:
ALAN as the following open requests and are entertaining donated offers only at this time. Only ALAN's highest priority needs are now listed in this report. Please check the ALAN portal as needs are frequently added and removed.
- Transportation of donated relief supplies from drop off locations to warehouse
- Fork lift for Salvation Army warehouse in Hempstead, NY
- 20k sq ft heated industrial space for sheltering owned pets
- Straight truck with lift gate for distribution of pet food supplies for Red Cross distribution with driver - 1 week need
- Transportation of boxes from MD to Brooklyn, NY
- Plastic zip top bags for pet food distribution
ALAN has the unique position of working with voluntary agencies, businesses and government emergency management groups with the goal of not just creating partnerships but encouraging activities that support the "whole community" or "one team" concept of disaster response . Occasionally, the network hears stories of unique and innovative collaborations. A few of their favorites from this event are below.
American Red Cross has partnered with the National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition to deliver pet food via Red Cross emergency response vehicles. Bulk donations of pet food will be repackaged to distribute to individual pet owners. The project is being made possible by donated food from PetSmart Charities, donated pallet jacks from Products for Industry and donated boxes from Atlas Container.
Verizon Wireless has their mobile disaster center set up for citizens in New York to get online and charge mobile phones and other devices. Many of the visitors are using the Internet access to complete FEMA requests for assistance. Verizon has gone a step further and is providing sandwiches, coffee, and water to those who visit, as well as first responders and FEMA staff. Verizon has also shared their facilities and resources with FEMA. These activities show how businesses can use private-public partnerships to the benefit of the community.
With the high demand and limited availability of donated warehouse space, many VOAD and government organizations are teaming up, sharing space to house items for their fellow organizations.
The Journal of Commerce recently ran an article on ALAN's work and the logistics challenges being faced by many organizations due to donations of items from concerned citizens.
As a reminder:
The best way to help survivors in the states impacted by this disaster is to provide funds to a reputable disaster relief organization so that supplies can be purchased locally. Financial contributions allow local sourcing of supplies, stimulating the economy and saving transportation capacity for critical relief and long term recovery supplies. It also allows relief organizations and survivors to purchase exactly what they need, rather than what someone has chosen for them. Purchasing locally makes great economic sense. Statistics on business failures following disasters are staggering - though numbers are highly contested some state that as many as 80 percent of businesses that close due to disaster fail within 5 years. Making a financial contribution helps survivors AND the economy.
The following links are for an article and a PSA about the challenges faced by unsolicited donations. Please read the article and watch the video and figure out what makes sense to share with your organizations.

One possible way of generating a small revenue stream which could be
used to support the consortium financially is to have google/yahoo ads
on the LAO websites.Currently none of the websites hosted have them and it is obviously not
everyones first choice.A few reasons I can think of for adding advertising to the site are:
- Constant stream of income
- The sites get heavy traffic so we would get high click through rates
and percentages
- It *could* make us look more professional to non-Libre initiated users
- If the sites make good money then it will be channeled back into the
consortium and associated projects
- Google has been supportive of LAD and open source through "Summer of
- We all use Google anyway so lets cash in like everyone elseAnyhow it is definitely a consortium decision as it will no doubt be
viewed negatively by a substantial number of LAD/LAU'ers.Cheers.

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is AGAR. ( Galatians 4:21-24 )
a'-gar (Agar). Found once in the Apocrypha in the Greek (Baruch 3:23) probably for the Old Testament Hagar, mother of Ishmael, whose children are mentioned with the merchants of Meran (Midian) and Teman. In 1 Chronicles 5:10 the "Hagarites" the King James Version, are located East of Gilead, and In the days of Saul were at war with the tribe of Reuben. See also 1 Chronicles 5:19,20 and 1 Chronicles 27:31. In Psalms 83:6 the name of the same people is Hagarenes.

VIDEO: Williams paints green stripe to rein in St. Patrick's Day weekend Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams helped rein in the St. Patrick's Day festivities this weekend by painting a green stripe on King Street Friday afternoon. WDEL's Tom Lehman reports. The annual tradition, which dates back to the Frawley administration, helps mark the location where the St. Patrick's Day parade will occur on Saturday. The actual feast day falls on Monday. Williams said the procession and Hooley celebrate Irish culture and help boost Wilmington's economy by bringing people into the city. "People spend their money by going to restaurants, the parade is great, it's just a thing that keeps our urban areas vibrant," Williams said. Eileen Sweeney is an officer with the club and says the festivities are meaningful for those with Irish heritage. "Back in Ireland everything was solemn, especially in years when the immigrants started coming in so it's kind of a fun thing now for us, but we always carry that in our hearts," Sweeney said. The parade begins at Fourth and King streets at noon. It finishes at 14th and Market Streets. Afterwards, the Hooley will be held outside in a heated tent at 14th and King Streets. |

] CARLOS GONZALEZ firstname.lastname@example.com - January 8, 2013, Baking Central begins the year with a tutorial on bagels.
Bagels √
Makes 12.
Note: Barley malt syrup is found in food co-ops and some grocery stores. Instant yeast also is called bread machine yeast. If you choose to add the optional pepper, make sure it's finely ground.
• 2 c. lukewarm water
• 1 tbsp. barley malt syrup (see Note)
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 3 tsp. kosher salt
• 6 c. bread flour
• 2 tsp. instant yeast
• Scant 1/2 tsp. finely ground pepper, optional
• 1 tbsp. baking soda
• 1 egg white, beaten
• Toppings as desired
In a bowl, stir together 2 cups water, barley malt syrup, honey and salt. In a large bowl, stir together flour, yeast and, if desired, the pepper.
If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook on low speed as you add the water mixture to the flour. Mix until well-blended, about 3 minutes. If mixing by hand, use a sturdy spoon, or your hands, and mix for about 3 minutes. This is a fairly stiff dough.
Turn the dough out onto a counter and knead for several minutes until the dough is smooth and only slightly tacky. Round into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about an hour.
(For fresh bagels in the morning, place the dough in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, let the dough warm up on the counter for about an hour before shaping.)
